Antivirus protection is software that detects and deflects malware that can infiltrate a company’s digital systems to steal, misuse or destroy data. It can be installed on many different devices including laptops, desktops and mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones and also on connected home devices such as smart TVs and printers.
Modern antivirus products employ multiple detection methods to block the spread of a single virus. One common method is detection based on signatures. This involves analyzing files for matches and keeping a database that contains distinct code snippets known as malware signatures. However, if attackers modify existing malicious code in a way that they not be recognized by the signatures, it is considered polymorphic, and requires more advanced detection techniques.
Heuristic-based detection is a more advanced technique. It attempts to detect malware by recognizing patterns unique to malicious code. For instance, changing and deleting large quantities of data, changing settings for other programs, or connecting remotely to computers. The use of algorithms to detect security threats can result in false positives and fatigue.
Look for a virus protection program capable of handling ransomware and polymorphic malware. It must also be able to deal with memory attacks, memory attacks and other advanced threats. It should be simple to install on all kinds of word cannot save this document due to a file permission error devices, including Macs and Windows PCs. It should also be compatible with different operating systems. Additionally, it shouldn’t use up too many system resources, as this can hinder the performance of a particular device or even lead to computer crashes.
